homemade oil catch tank...

[james2oo8]

well thought i would give it a bash at making one and tbh it went pretty well :)

if you ask me it looks prettty swish

cost £12 for all the bits

its mounted down the bottom left of the bay

has a breather on the top and is linked to the rocker cover and the air filter

also has a screw on lid on the bottom so it can be drained easily

what we rekon

not too bad, but that pipe near the rocker cover, blue going into black doesnt look reliable tbh

[james2oo8]

haha pic up on the worst bit, and nah its taped on the inside to secure it ;) the pipe is cut diagnolly so it goes right to the corner of the black pipe, its cliped and also taped on the outside

its all gravy :p

dont look bad tbh:)
ive seen people use drink cans (such as redbull before)

where did u get all parts from?
tubing?
and cannister?

[james2oo8]

yea the red bull can idea went out the window when i cut myself on it and stamped on it lol :)

erm the bottle was from halfrauds, tis an upside down camping bottle

pipe is washing machine pipe from diy store

2 couplers, grommets, and hose clips

[james2oo8]

ummm likeee :drink:? lol

[Aaron]

dont you need to put something in the tank?
i swear you do?
like a filter of sum type?

[Berg]

think you put steel wool inside iirc

[Aaron]

thats the one^

[james2oo8]

hope not lol

see a load of guides on the net and they dont, its just to catch the mank shit oil mate, its either that or like a mini breather filter bashed on the rocker... which is why i did this so i didnt use one of them and suck all the mank oil/ vapours back in :)

[james2oo8]

sorry my page hadnt refreshed

and ah maybe thats a good idea lol

but why?

ones ebay i doubt you have to put it in, and this in theory is exactly the same

[Aaron]

im guessing ones on ebay
have something in
dont really know alot about this sorry:)

= discraful tbh, id rather have the correct items for the job :)

[operation-saxo]

i no it was a temporary thing at first but that was months ago still hasnt changed it whats even more disgraceful is it wasnt the first time iv seen it done to a car seen one on a fiesta cvh turbo and judging from the oil pissing out every where I think it was the least of the owners worry

[james2oo8]

haha ok im gonna see what happens in a week, maybe wire wool is ment to soak the stuff up some how lol?

idno haha

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

wire wool catches the oil as it passes through as vapour. So the oil gets caught in there and the air continues out.
